For the best experience here are a few tips and reminders:

First, it is important to communicate what you are looking for, what you don't like, and ideas you have seen. Good communication, especially good listening, is key to a successful experience.

Next, it is essential we discuss the mood, feeling, and what you envision. Formal, beachy elegant, Latin, etc.

After committing to a concept a price point will be determined based upon the number of items, decorations, delivery, shipping, and other necessities.

This recipe for sweet potato matchsticks is a great way to elevate your dishes and a fun way to include good food into your diet. Sharing ideas together, like this recipe, is essential to better enjoy the process of doing anything and the final product. Sweet potatoes add flavor and nutrition (no fat, no cholesterol, and a good source of fiber, and vitamin A) to dishes, adding that salty sweet flavor to soups, sandwiches, salads, and more. Homemade sweet potato fries are less expensive than in restaurants and you can create your own personalized flavors.

This recipe for chicken broth is a great way to enhance your meals. One of the main purposes for sharing any of my recipes is to share those things that elevate the way we do things. Not simply to provide a recipe. Sharing ideas together and the best information is essential to enjoy the process of doing anything and the outcome. Out of the trillions of recipes you can learn, this one is essential to making your everyday meals, party foods, and holiday dinners much better. Chicken broth adds flavor to dishes and can be stored in air tight containers in the freezer for up to four months. Homemade chicken broth is less expensive than store bought and you can create your own spin on it.

What is broth? What's the difference between broth and stock? How else can broth be used?

"Broth" originates from German and Old English, referring to heating and boiling.

Broth is made by a process of boiling water with meat or poultry on the bones, vegetables, or some combination. Stock refers to boiling bones with water. The two terms are often used in interchanging ways. Many times recipes will call for stock and provide directions for broth, and vice versa.

Albondigas soup originates from Spain, with influences of Europe and the Middle East. My recipe below is based upon the recipe my aunt uses to make her version. She uses hamburger, while I use Soyrizo. Additionally, I added a Greek yogurt, caramelized onion, and sweet potato matchsticks for topping. This is one of those soups that you can make your own.

Ingredients

(*Note: use organic ingredients)

1 organic, whole young chicken (after preparing broth use the chicken meat for another dish)3 large yellow onions coarsely chopped

Place whole chicken, onions, celery, carrots, hungarian, and bell peppers in a large stockpot.

Add six 6 cups cold water.

Cover and bring to a boil.

Reduce to a very gentle simmer, keep covered, and cook for approximately 2 hours.

Skim off any “skin” that may form at the top.

Remove the chicken from the stockpot, using utensils and being aware of the high heat.

Place a colander in a large bowl that will hold the stock.

Pour the remaining contents into the colander, staining out the vegetables.

Cut the chicken into smaller chunks to cool faster before refrigeration.

Divide the broth liquid into smaller containers for faster cooling before refrigeration.

(Broth will last three days in an air tight container in the refrigerator and in the freezer for four months.)

The following day remove the layer of fat at the top of the liquid with a spoon. Discard the fat in the trash, not down the sink drain.

SoupFollow package directions to make Texmati rice (I use the ratio 1 cup, plus 3 tablespoons rice with 2 cups water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 45 minutes covered, remove from heat and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. I do not add butter or salt to the rice.)

Continue to stir until onion turns darker in color and is nicely browned.

At the end, add in a small amount of broth to deglaze the pan. The broth will evaporate, allowing the onion to be loosened from the skillet with a wooden spoon.Mix 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup caramelized onion, and 3 tablespoons snipped parsley.

Dollop Greek yogurt mixture on top of bowls of soup, a snip of parley, and a few sweet potato matchsticks.
